Ruy Blas| Opera by William Howard Glover (1819–1875) (libretto by composer, based on Victor Hugo's drama), produced at the Covent Garden Theatre, London, on 24 October 1861. In the story, Don Sallustio, seeking revenge against the Queen of Spain, sends his servant Ruy Blas to her court disguised as a nobleman. He rises through the ranks and is exposed later by the Don as a plebeian, thus dishonouring the Queen. But Ruy Blas earns his honour by killing the vengeful villain and drinking poison. |
